The Somatic Pollinator Course
A trauma foundations course for coaches, therapists, and professional service providers. It is for those who are looking to enhance their skills in helping themselves and their clients, learn about trauma healing, learn about high stress physiology, and learn about the basics of neuroscience.
"If you work with humans, you work with trauma."
Rooted in the belief that human interactions invariably touch upon trauma, this course is for coaches, therapists, and professional service providers who want to fully grasp the foundational concepts of trauma healing.
It's taught in a simple, step-by-step manner, with actionable steps that benefit both newcomers and seasoned somatic practitioners. Participants will have access to asynchronous videos, handouts, and other course materials that they can review at their own pace. Additionally, there will be live case consultations and group experiential practice sessions.

What Sets This Course Apart?
Many courses in this field are framed through a narrow lens, often echoing the perspectives of older male instructors, which inadvertently sets the white male body as the health standard. This course brings a fresh, inclusive perspective, championed by a woman.
Additionally, traditional somatic training can be prohibitively expensive, making it inaccessible to many. This course, on the other hand, is both approachable and affordable. In fact, many participants have expressed that they could instantly apply what they learned in the course with their clients - often on the very same day.
Finally, an unexpected perk for many has been personal growth, with a newfound understanding of the body-brain connection and its impact on their personal and professional lives.

What are Experientials?
We reference "experientials" in the course videos. Please check out the Geek Out NOT Freak Out sections on each module to sign up for a live somatic coaching call! Experiential calls are FREE & Included in your subscription.
We have 2 types of experiential sessions:
1. Experiential Practice Sessions (where you can practice with other people taking the course)
2. Case Consults (where you can bring your cases to the live call and we will consult with you on how to use somatic principles to work with your client).
If I miss a live EXPERIENTIAL call, will I have access to this call?
Due to the nature of trauma and our live experientials, these calls will not be recorded and made for distribution at this time. We may consider taping portions of the zoom call and showing clips of calls in the Community section of the app for discussion. A participant on the live call may determine it is safe to share something with the current participants on the call but that would be hard to assess afterwards. In live calls, participants are "donating their bodies to science" and learning of others and it is best contained on the live call so please join us and plan ahead!!
